High-profile pattern drive track
FX10XT75/FX10M53S/FX10M62S
This snowmobile is originally equipped with a
high-profile pattern drive track with a lug
height of 38 mm (1.5 in.) or more specifically
for use in deep snow riding conditions.
Therefore, avoid prolonged operation on hard
surfaces such as ice, hard-packed snow, dirt,
etc., to extend the life of the track and slide
runners.
